Geocaching

Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online. Geocaching is enjoyed by people from all age groups, with a strong sense of community and support for the environment.

Welcome!

This used to be Marc's NBA Blog but since I didn't keep up with it the way I would have liked to (Have I kept up with any of my other blogs like I wanted to? Just not enough hours in the day.), I have decided to change it to one about Geocaching.
